Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey Addresses VP Exodus

Among the departures: senior vp of engineering Alex Roetter, vp of global media Katie Stanton, vp of human resources Brian "Skip" Schipper and senior vp of product Kevin Weil.

Several prominent Twitter executives recently left the company, including senior vice president of product Kevin Weil — a key member of the Project Lightning team that developed Moments.

Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted about the departures: senior vp of engineering Alex Roetter, vp of global media Katie Stanton, vp of human resources Brian “Skip” Schipper and Weil.

Dorsey noted in his tweet that COO Adam Bain and CTO Adam Messinger will take on additional duties until replacements are found.

Dorsey may have also subtly railed against Twitter’s 140-character limit in addressing the departures.
